Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #530 (Set 11)

How should small appliances with less than three pounds of refrigerant be charged with refrigerant?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — vapor charged

Small appliances containing minimal refrigerant charges are routinely vapor-charged to prevent liquid slugging in small compressors and to accurately meter the exact saturation pressure corresponding to the charge weight without over-pressurizing.
